In its II mil shupo It was referred to nud approved by Lord Salisbury. It rcimlns unknown further than what has been said In loccnt public ut terance * , what the opinion of the lest of tbo ministers may bo. Apart from the objections to tlio principles of the measure , this ignot Ing of the conservative chiefs closely In touch \ \ Itti the rank and Illo of the pirtv , has added to thOKonoial discontent. No unionists suction whatever thoroughly endorses Mr. Ballottr's outlined measure. In the absolute evidence of nolitlc.il Uub Hfo It Is dlnlcult to icllect with exactitude how fur conservative mem bers w 111 go In opposition to Mr Bnlfour's polic.v , but Judging it fioin the temper revealed voalod bv men in town , including holidnv - belated " lated olllcl.ils the p rrtj iu bulk will" not accept the bill. The gonur.il statement of newspaper critics as oittng tholr acceptiinco of the measure bv the libcial unionists Is a distortion of the tiuth. The Spectator , the leidlng unionist organ , puts the position of the llbeial unionists straight in denouncing thu bill ns a homo rule measureIn disguise The National Observer , a piomlnont exponent of tory opinion , at tacks the mlnlsliy as becoming a rnuroliberal unionist agency. Among the ministerial groups only 0110. the Goshen-Chamberlaln set , is cordially buppoitmg I3aUour. Strong as this group are , thoj nio likely to bo forced eventually to bow before tory prejudices and cither- pioscnt the bill emasculated to suit conscrv a- the ideas or withdraw it at the risk of dis affection in the cabinet on the evening of the dissolution of parliament. Thoco.ismva- tlvo greeting toward the bill is summed up in the emphatlo declaration of the anti- Jacobins that instead of containing any pioralso of good It is u voluntary and deplor able act of destination.
